HARGING
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the
NC-88
Overnight Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the
EXT DC
jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional
E-DC-5B
DC Adapter (with
its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in
10 hours
. Disconnect the
NC-88
from the
EXT DC
jack and the AC line outlet.
Important Note
The
NC-88
is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception or
transmission).
Do not leave the
NC-88
connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in ex-
cess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack and
significantly shorten its useful life.
Please be advised that the
NC-88
may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in
the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
